Sabbath Regulations
1Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things the Lord has commanded you to do: 2For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it is to be put to death. 3Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
Materials for the Tabernacle
4Moses said to the whole Israelite community, “This is what the Lord has commanded: 5From what you have, take an offering for the Lord. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord an offering of gold, silver and bronze; 6blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; 7ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather35:7 Possibly the hides of large aquatic mammals; also in verse 23; acacia wood; 8olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; 9and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
10“All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded: 11the tabernacle with its tent and its covering, clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; 12the ark with its poles and the atonement cover and the curtain that shields it; 13the table with its poles and all its articles and the bread of the Presence; 14the lampstand that is for light with its accessories, lamps and oil for the light; 15the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle; 16the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the bronze basin with its stand; 17the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard; 18the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, and their ropes; 19the woven garments worn for ministering in the sanctuary—both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests.”
20Then the whole Israelite community withdrew from Moses’ presence, 21and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. 22All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewelry of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments. They all presented their gold as a wave offering to the Lord. 23Everyone who had blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen, or goat hair, ram skins dyed red or the other durable leather brought them. 24Those presenting an offering of silver or bronze brought it as an offering to the Lord, and everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the work brought it. 25Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun—blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen. 26And all the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goat hair. 27The leaders brought onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. 28They also brought spices and olive oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense. 29All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the Lord freewill offerings for all the work the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.
Bezalel and Oholiab
30Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 31and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— 32to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 33to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts. 34And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. 35He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers.
Malamulo Osunga Sabata
1Mose anasonkhanitsa gulu lonse la Aisraeli ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Zinthu zimene Yehova wakulamulirani kuti muzichite ndi izi: 2Muzigwira ntchito zanu pa masiku asanu ndi limodzi, koma tsiku la chisanu ndi chiwiri likhale la Sabata, tsiku lanu lopuma, lopatulika kwa Yehova. Aliyense amene adzagwira ntchito iliyonse pa tsikuli ayenera kuphedwa. 3Pa tsiku la Sabata musakoleze moto paliponse pamene mukhala.”
Zopereka ku Malo Opatulika
4Mose ananena kwa gulu lonse la Aisraeli kuti, “Zimene Yehova wakulamulirani ndi izi: 5Kuchokera pa zomwe muli nazo, mutenge chopereka cha Yehova. Aliyense amene ali ndi mtima wofuna kupereka abweretse kwa Yehova zopereka izi: Golide, siliva ndi mkuwa; 6nsalu zobiriwira, zapepo, zofiira, nsalu zofewa; ubweya wambuzi; 7zikopa za nkhosa zazimuna za utoto wofiira ndi zikopa za akatumbu; matabwa amtengo wa mkesha, 8mafuta anyale a olivi, zonunkhiritsa mafuta odzozera ndi zopangira lubani wonunkhira; 9miyala yokongola ya mtundu wa onikisi ndi ina yabwino yoyika pa Efodi ndi pa chovala cha pachifuwa.
10“Anthu onse aluso pakati panu abwere ndi kupanga zonse zimene Yehova walamula: 11Chihema ndi tenti yake ndiponso chophimba chake, ngowe zake, maferemu ake, mitanda yake, mizati yake ndi matsinde ake; 12Bokosi la Chipangano pamodzi ndi mitengo yake yonyamulira ndiponso chovundikira chake cha bokosilo ndi nsalu zophimba bokosilo; 13tebulo pamodzi ndi mitengo yake yonyamulira pamodzi ndi zipangizo zake zonse ndiponso buledi wokhala pamaso pa Yehova; 14choyikapo nyale yowunikira pamodzi ndi zipangizo zake, nyale ndi mafuta anyalezo; 15guwa lofukizira lubani pamodzi ndi mitengo yake yonyamulira, mafuta odzozera ndi lubani onunkhira; nsalu yotchinga pa khomo lolowera mʼchihema; 16guwa lansembe yopsereza pamodzi ndi sefa yamkuwa, mitengo yake yonyamulira ndi zipangizo zake zonse, beseni losambira lamkuwa ndi miyendo yake; 17nsalu yotchingira bwalo pamodzi ndi mizati yake ndi matsinde ake, ndiponso nsalu yotchingira pa khomo lolowera ku bwalo; 18zikhomo za tenti ya chihema ndiponso za bwalo, ndi zingwe zake; 19zovala zolukidwa zovala potumikira kumalo opatulika, zovala zopatulika za wansembe, Aaroni pamodzi ndi za ana ake aamuna pamene akutumikira monga ansembe.”
20Kenaka gulu lonse la Aisraeli linachoka pamaso pa Mose, 21ndipo aliyense amene anakhudzidwa mu mtima mwake nafuna kupereka, anabwera kudzapereka chopereka kwa Yehova cha ntchito yokonza tenti ya msonkhano, cha ntchito zonse za mʼtentimo ndi cha zovala zopatulika. 22Onse amene anali ndi mtima wofuna, amuna ndi amayi omwe anabwera kudzapereka zodzikometsera zagolide za mtundu uliwonse: zomangira zovala, ndolo, mphete ndi zokometsera. Onse anapereka golide wawo monga nsembe yoweyula pamaso pa Yehova. 23Aliyense amene anali ndi nsalu ya mtundu wa mtambo, yapepo kapena yofiira kapena yofewa, yosalala, kapena ubweya wambuzi, zikopa za nkhosa zonyika mu utoto wofiira kapena zikopa anazibweretsa. 24Onse amene anapereka chopereka cha siliva kapena mkuwa anabweretsa monga chopereka kwa Yehova. Ndipo aliyense amene anali ndi matabwa a mtengo wa mkesha kuti awagwiritse ntchito mbali ina iliyonse ya ntchitoyo, anabweretsa. 25Mayi aliyense waluso analuka ndi manja ake ndi kubweretsa chomwe analuka cha mtundu wa mtambo, chapepo kapena chofiira kapena chofewa, chosalala. 26Ndipo amayi onse amene anali ndi mtima wofuna ndipo anali ndi luso analuka ubweya wa mbuzi. 27Atsogoleri anabweretsa miyala ya onikisi ndi miyala yokongola yoyika pa efodi ndi chovala chapachifuwa. 28Anabweretsanso zonunkhiritsa ndiponso mafuta owunikira a olivi ndi odzozera ndi zofukizira zonunkhira. 29Aisraeli onse aamuna ndi aakazi amene anali ndi mtima wofuna, anabweretsa kwa Yehova chopereka chaufulu ku ntchito yonse ya Yehova imene analamulira kudzera mwa Mose kuti achite.
Bezaleli ndi Oholiabu
30Kenaka Mose anati kwa Aisraeli, “Taonani, Yehova wasankha Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri, wa fuko la Yuda, 31ndipo wamudzaza ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu kotero kuti ali ndi luso ndi nzeru zomvetsa zinthu, ndipo akudziwa bwino ntchito zonse zamanja monga izi: 32Kulemba ndondomeko ya ntchito zaluso ndi kupanga zinthu zagolide, zasiliva ndi zamkuwa, 33kusema ndi kuyika miyala yokongola, kukonza zinthu zamatabwa ndiponso kugwira ntchito ina iliyonse yamanja. 34Ndipo Iye wapereka kwa Bezaleli pamodzi ndi Oholiabu mwana wa Ahisamaki, wa fuko la Dani luso lophunzitsa ena. 35Mulungu wawapatsa maluso osiyanasiyana, maluso ogoba, olemba ndondomeko, opeta zokometsera pa nsalu zamtundu wamtambo, zapepo ndi zofiira ndiponso zofewa zosalala ndi zoluka. Onsewa ndi amisiri a ntchito zamanja ndi zokonza ndondomeko.
